Nasal Release Technique
Nasal Release Technique is a powerful structural technique that adjusts the bones of the skull. This was developed by Dr. J. R. Stober of Portland. The procedure uses a small finger cot affixed to an inflatable device which is inserted into the nasal passages. The balloon inflation presses outward against the bones lining the breathing passages and adjusts the sutures of the skull, particularly the sphenoid. This ultimately relieves the forces that have gone into the skull by releasing any impactions in the cranial sutures.
One of the confusions of this therapy are the multitude of names for it--Endonasal Technique, Cranial Facial Release, Nasal Cranial Release, Bilateral Nasal Specific Technique, Functional Cranial Release, and Neurocranial ReStructuring Nasal Specific Technique. These have all been used to describe the procedure.
What can I expect from a treatment?
Nasal Release Technique is performed using a finger cot affixed to a blood pressure bulb. The finger cot is lubricated, then placed in between the nasal turbinates. The blood pressure bulb inflates the cot, which expands inside the nasal passage. The opposite nostril is lightly compressed to prevent air from escaping. The patient takes a deep breath and holds it. Then the finger cot is gently inflated, making its way into the nasopharynx, causing it to widen. The finger cot is inserted into the lower portion of the nose on both sides, then the middle portion, then the upper portion. It is then repeated in the lower portion to balance the procedure.
What benefits can this provide?
Nasal Release Technique has a wide range of benefits. Treatments have shown to help people suffering from headaches, head injuries, sinusitis, vertigo, whiplash, TMJ issues and more! Aligning your cranial bones can also help with loss of smell, vertigo, congestion and even snoring!
